Pet Clothes

Well, as everyone knows by now, winter is in full swing.  It’s cold everywhere so we have to stop and think about our dogs in the server cold weather and all the potential dangers dogs can encounter outside.  The chemical ice melt that is put on the streets and sidewalks is poisonous to your dog if ingested.  Make sure when your dog comes in from the outside that you wash off his feet so he doesn’t try and lick off the chemical.  A better method to use around your home on the sidewalk or driveway is sand.  It will not melt the ice but in will provide traction.

Another way to keep your dogs feet free from the chemical ice melt is dog clothing or dog boots.  The boots can be put on your dogs feet to protect them from the poisonous chemical that may potentially harm them.  While outside don’t forget to put on dog jackets.  Dog coats, dog sweaters and dog jackets will keep your pet warm in the cold icy weather and protect their coats from getting the ice melt on them.
